"Second, people have a lot more tolerance for mistakes they make themselves versus mistakes that are not in their control. Look at how upset people get over plane crashes despite air travel being far safer than car travel overall."

The same seems to apply to coach ad bus crashes. It;s probably because dead and injured were passengers, not in control, and the numbers involved in a single incident. Car accidents generally involve few people and of those few people, a significant number are the people in control, the drivers. The human condition is a funny old thing.
